Race Information
DIVERGE Skyruns is a sky and trail running festival in one of Tasmaniaβs most remote corners: Queenstown, West Coast Tasmania. DIVERGE is for runners & hikers, ready to step just outside their comfort zone. Over 3 days, this event has something for almost everyone: Australiaβs most serious skyruns on jaw-dropping alpine ridgelines to trail runs that weave through moonscape landscapes, rainforests and past soaring waterfalls. There are also incredibly iconic trail runs that traverse the local airfield, running towards Mt Owen, and The Lynchford Express, which includes a memorable ride on the heritage steam trains of the West Coast Wilderness Railway, before racing (or just enjoying a shake-out run or hike) back to Queenstown. The west is wild. And it offers runners another way.
